I was surprised to read that AMN had asked to play RB/RWB rather than in midfield. Why the hell are we playing Cedric over him then? If Arteta thinks Cedric is the better player, then he should get his head checked and also let AMN leave.

He wants to play right back instead of midfield apparently. Getting rid of Bellerin seemed like a pathway for more playing time. Though Everton overpaying for another one of our mediocre players would have been fine by me. Maybe we can get them to take Chambers, Holding, Nketiah and Nelson while they're at it.

Quite a funny nuance at the club at the moment is that the people dictating which positions are recruited for are completely mad, whilst those in charge of finding the players are highly competent

Our recruitment at the moment when it's not managerial requests is actually great. All signings we have made outside of managerial requests this summer are u24, properly scouted & cheap (Tomiyasu, Lokonga, Tavares). Will be shite under Arteta but good for the club going forward. If we didn't listen to Arteta and do the homegrown nonsense that landed us Ramsdale and White in less than important positions (we need a goalie but not a clear backup) for 75 million this could've been a good window.

I think the timeline was he wanted to play in midfield but Arteta played him as a fullback. He adamantly didn't want to play fullback to the point he was seeing a shrink because of it. So he got loaned to WBA where he played midfield. Now he's back and I guess came to his senses since that he wants to play fullback but Arteta plays him in mid during preseason.

Arteta is an ass if he's going to banish him from first team training but they shouldn't accept the piss poor offer from Everton which is a 2 year loan where they can then sign him on a free when his contract expires.

If he doesn't get transferred he needs to be 2nd choice RB.

Lokonga is has way way more potential than Tomiyasu and it isn’t close. He was Anderlecht captain and just made the Belgium squad at 21. He’s a brilliant player.

Lokonga has looked very good so far. Hopefully he keeps it up while Xhaka is out and we can see a Lokonga - Partey pairing.

I do recall him originally wanting to play in midfield rather than as a wingback, which is why I was surprised to see he flip-flopped. But if thats the case then he definitely should have been starting over Cedric.

@AB13 has complained about us putting up forty thousand crosses in every single effin' match, this bloke looks like he's going to break the record with Arteta in a season. We're just going to load him up and he can cross it to the best target man in the world with Auba....FML, Arteta doesn't know tactics does he?

Well he played with the first team in a behind closed doors match today so maybe they resolved it.

It all stemmed from AMN posting an IG story with a plea to play him or let him leave.
 
if arsenal loses next game (against norwich) do you guys think arteta will get sacked? fredrik ljungberg taking over until they found someone worthy.
 
He won't be sacked because the board was stupid enough to back him with a bunch of money. Ljungberg would be way better though.
 
Arteta loses next game I think he is gone for sure.

I honestly think he needs 6 points going into that Spurs game to keep going!

Already talks about a deal in principle with Conte. If he doesn’t win upcoming games including NLD he’s surely gone.

@The Abusement Park can attest to this as well, but Kroenkes' tend to allow coaches to pass their stay by big amounts in their other sports. They also give coaches benefit of the doubt and I guarantee that the Covid/injuries will be used as a valid excuse.

Not sure I buy that, Edu just came out to the public today saying to defend the transfers they made together.
